PKT Enterprises is an organization established in 1994, which is committed to serving the needs of adults with developmental disabilities. PKT Enterprises is actually the name we do business as, and comes from our corporate name, Paraklatos, Incorporated.

We are committed to providing the highest quality of care to all those we serve.

It is our desire to promote independence, provide opportunities to have meaningful relationships and introduce new experiences.
